will the xp 1015 servo wire reach all the way back to where you are supposed to mount the reciver?

well your battery is 100 grams lighter right there. And I know I have some extra wire because I left it longer purposely for the first little bit until I know that I'm leaving stuff where it's at.
You're also running a low profile servo and I'm not. Between that and the battery, there's your difference there.
When I build a 17.5 car, it will be under weight and have a lightened drive train.

I'm not bagging on your car, just saying that many of you guys are coming in fat, and many want to add weight for tuning, which, in my opinion, is just ridiculous until you're near the minimum. I'm not real sure why folks are running the square pack or saddles for five minute mains. Even last night during our local club racing Steven Hartson was preaching the shorty for the mod class. Oh and FWIW he was running the gull wings at OC_RC last night as well.

the xp 1015 will fit fine... I use one in my rm. you don't have any spare wire running all over that's for sure. I run mine down the chassis groove along with my transponder wire then use a piece of black electrical tape over the wires before I stick the pad down.

yeah, the B5M is a true fatty... With the following my car comes in at 1520
-B4.2 Pucks sytem with B4.2 Aluminum rear hubs
-Aluminum Top Shaft
-Team Associated Ti Turnbuckles
-nearly 100% screws are Aluminum
-Trimmed Battery strap
I was about to do the Kyosho front aluminum axel hack, but after I put my buddies Serpent Spyder Mid Motor on my scale BONE STOCK with a Reedy Shorty pack it came in at 1509g and I changed my mind about the B5M. My B5M is now going to be my Mod car so I'm taking a lot of the lightweight stuff off and selling it. I picked up a Serpent Spyder MM kit today and the only lightweight things I plan on doing is replacing most the screws with aluminum screws and replacing the front axels with Aluminum Kyosho ones hacked in. I'm looking forward to seeing what it weights in at after that.
The largest culprit to the B5M being such a fatty is that Aluminum chassis plate. It's really heavy, like REALLY heavy. That's why the RM car is so much lighter. To anyone trying to get the B5M really light, I say good luck and get out your pocketbook.
Anyhow, I think the B5M will be a great Mod car. I'm looking forward to POWER...
